Got bored by Canon's own launch video so came here for the no-nonsense, facts and user review. Was not disappointed. EDIT: I also pre-ordered based on this in-depth review.
I still prefer the FX9 (Variable ND, true xlr ports, shoulder ready, evf, great image quality...). And with the tiny FX3 as your b cam (for gimbal shots, tiny spaces, interviews, when you want to be discreet), you are good to go. But yes this camera looks amazing too, I understand why you are saying that (especially for the 24-105 2.8)
@@Yupthereitismcurious why you think fx6 is better this has better resolution for stabilizing , better recording formats, and canon colors nicer. The lenses have always been legendary
@@theyoungsphoto definitely going to get one, you know I can’t pass up a good Canon release 😂 joking aside though, the c400 looks like on paper the perfect do it all camera for me
It’s good having full disclosure about videos like this. Sadly sounds like Insta360 just recently got busted paying for reviews but asking for creators to not make those disclosures.
I am shooting canon eos cinema cameras since 2018 starting with the c200, now C300mk3 and c70 as b cam. I was anticipating and craving a new flagship canon cinema camera, but tbh for me I don't have a need in buying the C400 unfortunately. Especially the lack of DGO and dynamic rage compared to the C300mk3. I really, really hope that Canon comes out with a C700mk2 esque, 20-25k€ Burano/V-Raptor Competitor, as im craving (even) better image quality. I know, im being pretty picky here, but I feel a little bummed frankly. Nonetheless it seems to be an awesome camera especially for that price point, but not worth the upgrade if you own c300mk3 and c70 (with speed booster) for me at least. Thank you for that superb review! Cheers!
this has become the best channel for camera reviews, feels objective, factual and technical, but with the right mixture of different shooting scenarios (although I would love to see more fiction/commercial shoots).
If you consider adding the handgrip and a V-mount battery to the Burano, the C400 is near a quarter of its price. I honestly think this camera is a Burano killer. Sony would have to drastically reduce the price of the Burano and/or add some features to it, like to include the handle without extra cost, add internal X-OCN S, maybe even sell it with a G-Master lens included in the price of the body.
Yes Canon! This seems like a really great option and for a reasonable price. Would be interested in renting one for bigger projects to go along with my C70
Gotta love the competition! FX6 setting Canon on their backfoot forcing them to come back with this incredible price-performance package. And with that new 24-105 it's a killer doc combo. Well done. The only thing I would love to see is a proper EVF. And an awesome video as always, guys, cheers!
I love the fact that you can have a LUT on the monitor but still measure exposure in RAW and hate that you can’t do that on a Sony. Finally Canon are competing with Sony and here’s hoping they make inroads into Sony domination - I would switch so fast back to Canon if they started becoming more widely used.
I've loved Canon for years, switched to Sony in 2023 but could've stayed with Canon if the C400 was available. If RF glass becomes available from more manufacturers I may come back to Canon. Love love all of your videos CVP. I've been in video almost 20 years and learn about 10 things every time I visit this channel. Thank you!
Almost there. I think (at least for me) folks want better dynamic range, and anamoprhic height of a sensor. It would have been great if it was full frame (24x36mm) DGO, even at 4k, with much better DR. Decent price, but I won't be upgrading.
I hope someday to work with Canon. I really feel like they are closest thing to Apple in the camera space. Although I am an Android and Windows user but I still am impressed by what Apple can make😊
I have two BMPC6K pros for interviews and a Lumix S5Mk2 for gimbal work. But for run and gun I always grab my old trusty C200. It just works, the pictures look great and I love the ergonomics. Please can you compare with the Black Magic G2 and 12K. Great video, thanks.
If sony had just included in body compressed raw the c400 wouldn't be any worry. But the fact that i need to strap multiple things on to my FX9 and turn it into a tank to get raw is really making me look at the c400.
I want Canon to make a new C500 mark 3… guess ill stay with my 2x C70 my R5C and my R3 camera a little bit longer 😆 Love the DGO sensor.. just wish it was full frame
Thank goodness for making another C400 launch video 🙌🏼 much more in depth and straight to the point to be honest. Also, Canon forgot to mention about internal NDs, fortunately they are still included 😅
@@rossdanielart It's an RF mount cine camera in a cube body that comes with all the accessories for a reasonable price. Like yeah I too would like it to bring more cutting edge stuff like global shutter, internal 32 bit flot audio, etc etc, but then it would be 15k, I'm sure that camera is also coming btw. For someone like me that is shooting on R5C but wants to move to cine-style bodies and keep the R5C as B-Cam, this is basically perfect and at a price point I can actually consider. Whereas a 15/20k body is just out of the question for me and then I would've probably gotten a Pyxis or something instead. I didn't want to invest in 4/5 year old cameras as my new main cam, there were no options with RF besides the C70 for me and I was feeling meh about that camera, whereas I really want this one bad.
Is it just me or have cameras been in pretty much the exact same place for 10 years? If I showed you FS7 footage beside this C400 you couldn't tell the difference.
Can you compare it to the Komdo X. I'm looking for a great B camera without breaking the bank. I've considered being cheap and going black magic. I also miss Full Frame so this is very enticing.
Fair play to ye for this video. I'm a bit more interested in it now after struggling through Canon's boring as hell presentation. Would've loved to see that they used the DGO sensor, but maybe that had to be the trade off for the triple base iso? And I'm a bit disappointed to hear that the autofocus improvement isn't as big as I'd hoped for. Still, thanks for your thorough breakdown which actually answers the questions we all have.
Why did they make one CF Express memory card slot, can we say forget about the copy? 4K 120p only for the S35 is strange for me too, so a lot of questions to the manufacturer?
Canon claims 16 stops of dynamic range for the camera despite it appearing to have less latitude than the C300(In the highlights and shadows). Looks to have about 8-9 usable stops with all the noise at -4 stops.
how do you come to the conclusion that this are 8-9usable stops? To me it looks like +-3 are clean stops and -4 "pretty noisy"at lower base, okayish noisy at higher base, +4 skin alredy clipped. So i conclude at least 6 clean stops, and 7stops at higher base, less than 8 without loosing detail or am i missing something here.
@@juliusherth White skin isn't exposed at middle gray, but at about one stop over. So the +4 stops is actually +5 stops on skin. It looks about 1/2 stop over exposed on the skin, so give the camera 4.5 stops in the highlights. The amount of acceptable noise in shadows is subjective and the test isn't granular enough(1 stop jumps are pretty large) to say what the cut off of acceptable noise is... Maybe 3 stops maybe 3- 2/3 stops. Who knows.
Hello, guys, Canon EVF-V50 OLED Viewfinder Will this viewfinder fit the new Canon C400 camera and will it work? and the second question is, is it possible to fix the manfrotto pad directly to the bottom of this chamber? or do you need an additional platform separately?
Excellent video! Very informative and some good points here. Currently a R5C & R5. Looks like a brilliant upgrade, can’t quite justify the cost of upgrading just yet as I’m pretty happy with my current setup.
Seems on par with the FX6, not way better, just slightly better with internal raw, triple base iso and open gate. FX6’s eND and rolling shutter performance is still superior.
@@JojoJoget rolling shutter is good enough. If for you raw internally is not a big deal... It is... 6k, and open gate, are also very big deal for real work, opening anamorphic behind 1.33 wich is not very great
@@cosmincimil Well it might be a bit overboard shooting it the way I did, but the extremely limited codec options bug me a lot on the FX6. Together with no full sensor readout, which is pretty much standard these days. No audio without a top handle, No options for IS of any kind. The C400 just seems to tick every single box for me. And the lack of 'decent' firmware upgrades from sony over the past years have made me contemplate my choices. That being said, despite the limitations my FX6's is my daily driver and my workhorse, and the big advantage still is the Electronic VND for doc work. Couldn't live without it. So they've got me by the ballz
I recently shot a documentary project with the C70 and R5c and learnt the hard way that their digital stabilization doesn't use the gyro data and instead uses some form of vector based scene analysis for stabilization. That's the stupidest, most annoying thing about all canon Cinema line cameras. Looks like the C400 is not any different.
Hi CVP, good introduction!Seems like no proxy or sub recording on SD card in s&f mode. My old R6 can do that! Also no face autofocus in that mode, very disappointing! I will not hope for any firmware update ;)
Hi, Could you elaborate on the AF (autofocus) capabilities? Are there any scenarios where Canon still lags behind the current competition? Is it at the level of the FX6, or is it less reliable?
Did you happen to note which battery the C400 uses for remembering date/time and settings? NOT the main battery for running the camera, but rather small battery which allows the camera to remember date and time and setting. For example, the C300 mark II uses a CR2025 battery.
To be honest cameras at this level, don’t really matter to people who aren’t making documentaries or feature films TV shows stuff like that but it’s all interesting
It'd be really interesting seeing how it stacks up to the Komodo instead of the Raptor. Give how much more I/O and accessories you get with the C400 over the price points aren't that far apart
13:30 Am I understanding properly that autofocus only works up to 60fps in slow/fast modes? I asked on B&H if there are any modes where autofocus was disabled or only partially worked and their response was “At this time Canon does not show any frame rates or resolutions that would impede the Canon C400s autofocus capabilities. However, the camera has not yet been released, and this info may change”
I would love to see this compared more in detail with the C300 Mark iii, I've been debating about investing in the c300 for awhile and was waiting to see what Canon would release this year. I still use and have alot of EF lenses so the c300 is an easy choice but the full frame c400 has a S35 mode already and I can use an adapter so now I'm really split. The main thing that is making me want a C300 still is that DGO sensor. I'm honestly shocked that didn't add that but like you said, they may be saving it for the magical C500 Mark iii
This C-400 camera would be an alternative to the Red Komodo X so I’d love to see it compared. Especially a proper DR test like Gerald Undone does. I have not seen DR results from Red and it would be interesting to see this camera chart results. Also side by side high contrast scenes with post footage grading comparisons. It’s so much to ask but it would be awesome. Your reviews are excellent 🙏🏼👏🏼👍🏼
13:57 looks like the C400 has a native 3:2 sensor, and it looks like the NDs cover the full sensor too. It's currently only using a 17:9 crop of the sensor though. Any chance we'll see open gate recording?
Hopefully this sensor will be adopted in a C70mii or new similar compact body! Looks like an awesome camera, but run & gunners like myself don’t really have a need for the higher end cine ports & extras. A smaller version of the C400, with a box shaped body would be sick
Impressive release by Canon. However, it feels late. The FX3 and FX6 have really served users well. If anything, this C400 shifts the market against the Burano. Sony will eventually release the Mark IIs of the FX3, FX6, and FX9. All of this is great for the market though.
I saw that shadow line moving from right to left as well maybe aliasing but didn't stay on the roll long enough to mean anything .. the imaging looks brilliant though
Such a great rundown! At 13:15 you discuss something not being well publicized or mentioned elsewhere that I've seen, that you can shoot 4K 120fps compressed while using the whole full frame image raster, but the example shown says it is in the S35 mode cropped. Just to confirm which is it?
You guys didnt even wait for the Canon video to end. LMAO
I was thinking the same thing haha

Super solid review! Would love to see an updated video down the road with more comparisons to the C500II
Daaaamn! 6k raw internal up to 60, 4k 120 and 2k 180. Damn! They not playing! FF and 3 Native ISO wow!
I'm really curious how this camera compares to the R5c since the image and possibilities looks the same to me
It'd be really interesting seeing how it stacks up to the Komodo instead of the Raptor. Give how much more I/O and accessories you get with the C400 over the price points aren't that far apart
13:30 Am I understanding properly that autofocus only works up to 60fps in slow/fast modes? I asked on B&H if there are any modes where autofocus was disabled or only partially worked and their response was
“At this time Canon does not show any frame rates or resolutions that would impede the Canon C400s autofocus capabilities. However, the camera has not yet been released, and this info may change”
I would love to see this compared more in detail with the C300 Mark iii, I've been debating about investing in the c300 for awhile and was waiting to see what Canon would release this year. I still use and have alot of EF lenses so the c300 is an easy choice but the full frame c400 has a S35 mode already and I can use an adapter so now I'm really split. The main thing that is making me want a C300 still is that DGO sensor. I'm honestly shocked that didn't add that but like you said, they may be saving it for the magical C500 Mark iii
Great review! Thanks!!
just a side note... HIROSE is pronounced--- "He Row see" not - "high rose" love you guys dont misunderstand great video... just a correction.
What stands out to me the most is how detailed and sharp the images look.
right? that slow-mo shot of him walking in the puddle left me drooling
This C-400 camera would be an alternative to the Red Komodo X so I’d love to see it compared. Especially a proper DR test like Gerald Undone does. I have not seen DR results from Red and it would be interesting to see this camera chart results. Also side by side high contrast scenes with post footage grading comparisons. It’s so much to ask but it would be awesome. Your reviews are excellent 🙏🏼👏🏼👍🏼
13:57 looks like the C400 has a native 3:2 sensor, and it looks like the NDs cover the full sensor too. It's currently only using a 17:9 crop of the sensor though. Any chance we'll see open gate recording?
OMG Ive just shit the bed! When did Canon release rhis puppy?
Hopefully this sensor will be adopted in a C70mii or new similar compact body!
Looks like an awesome camera, but run & gunners like myself don’t really have a need for the higher end cine ports & extras.
A smaller version of the C400, with a box shaped body would be sick
Impressive release by Canon. However, it feels late. The FX3 and FX6 have really served users well. If anything, this C400 shifts the market against the Burano.
Sony will eventually release the Mark IIs of the FX3, FX6, and FX9. All of this is great for the market though.
0:32 showing rolling shutter? or effected by something else?
I saw that shadow line moving from right to left as well maybe aliasing but didn't stay on the roll long enough to mean anything .. the imaging looks brilliant though
Such a great rundown! At 13:15 you discuss something not being well publicized or mentioned elsewhere that I've seen, that you can shoot 4K 120fps compressed while using the whole full frame image raster, but the example shown says it is in the S35 mode cropped. Just to confirm which is it?
